Carbon monoxide which is released from cars and furnaces can be the most deadly out of all four pollutants. ... I tend to car pool but not quite enough, in Maryland there are designated lanes called car pool lanes for 2 or more people, in some situations these lanes are great when traffic is slow. ... Some of these include: 1) I probably will not buy an electric car for one because it is not cost effective and I can cut back on car fumes that cause air pollution by simply not driving. ... I know that ozone that we generate through cars, etc. are major contributors to the reduction in our lungs...
"People tend to focus on the here and now.

This car commercial (above) exhibits how shallow Americans have become. 50 years ago, cars were a means of transportation not impressions. But since technology introduced faster, sportier and advanced cars, automobile companies have to keep advancing too. So they play on our emotions and try to sell us a car that we think will make us look good as we drive through the mountains of the Shenandoah Valley. The ad wants us to picture how this car will look sitting outside of our house. ...

Maybe instead of driving our very polluting, gas guzzler cars, we can switch to a Prius or perhaps riding our bike to work and school. ... For example, switching your car to an electric one. It is true with the fact that it will reduce the cost of buying gallons of gasoline to fuel your car. But ask yourself this, "How do you think electric companies get the electricity that now powers your car?" Jon Gabriel, author of "Electric Cars Bring Unintended Consequences to California" mentions, "When people boast of plugging in a car, they seem to think electricity comes fro...
In "Share the Ride," Lee Morrison expresses the importance of car-pooling. This student points out an advantage that car-pooling "would reduce car trips and thus reduce needless use of oil and pollution of the air" ( LB 96). Morrison suggests that by car-pooling, it will simply better the environment. ... In order to car-pool, a workable system must be made out by groups of people traveling to the same place. ... It comes down to what is more important in our lives; our health or a car ride. ...
Pollution from factories and cars causes severe problems. ... The rapidly increasing numbers of cars, factories and houses are polluting our towns and countryside. ... Moreover, in our personal lives we are recycling more instead of throwing things out, using less electricity and starting to go by bicycle instead of by car. ...
Individual Action These are a few things that people could do themselves to reduce pollution and help preserve our environment: Keep your vehicle in good condition or buy a new car. Cars built after 1994 emit much less pollution than older models because they have to have a catalytic converter fitted. Cars contribute about one-third of the emissions that cause ground-level ozone pollution. Use a bicycle or walk to do errands or to commute to work rather than a car. Bring your own bags to the supermarket; buy used goods; attempt to throw away nearly nothing....
After the invention of automobiles from the 18th century till the 21st century, the majorities of people all around the world have started to prefer using fuel-powered vehicles to horses, chariots, or walking because it is believed that driving a car can show the high social status in the society and that owning as many cars as possible can show the wealth to the public. ... Since Cambodia is a developing country, its citizens still use rusty old cars that generate much smoke in the air. ... As Wilson (2013) writes in The Cambodia Daily that in Cambodia there was an estimation of 1.8...
Over the past several years, temperatures around the world kept rising. Sometimes it's unbearable for people on this planet. "The temperature during an eight-day heat wave in Chicago in July 1995 hovered around 100 degrees Fahrenheit. High levels of humidity made the air feel even hotter, creatin...
A researcher, Presley Sanderson, has studied types of cars that would help the climate change problems and found a car in Europe that is illegal in the United States. ... "Diesel cars in Europe can get up to 300 mpg, and yet they are illegal here due to "emission standards" despite the fact that these cars' emissions are cleaner than our own Why can't we have them? ... Sanderson talks about how the government frowns upon the economically friendly car due to the fear of gas sales going down.

The greenhouse effect occurs when gases such as methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and CFCs trap heat in the atmosphere by acting as a pane of glass in a car. The glass lets the sun light in to make heat but when the heat tries to get out the gases absorb the heat. Holding this heat in causes h...
Other examples of ways in which people can help slow down and possibly stop climate change are: being more energy efficient, use renewable power like wind farms and solar energy, avoiding processed foods and eating organic foods, recycling and reducing the amount of waste we produce, driving a fuel efficient car and even just properly maintaining existing cars. ...
During this time (3) humans are driving cars, power plants are running both of which burn fossil fuels; then, someone is spraying their hair with hair spray, garbage is laying around in landfills and etc. (4) when all these fumes combine, they "form a "blanket" which traps energy, thus warming the Earth"(MacEachern 14). ...
